Peaceful and relaxing, just what we asked for. The cottage is in a quiet part of Kent, it was as described in the listing, plenty to do for our kids. We couldn’t get them off the zip line. My eldest discovered an interest in tennis while we stayed. There are lots of things to do or enjoy while at the cottage. The swing seat for the sunsets was a well thought out touch. The kids enjoyed seeing the chickens and sheep each morning. The cottage had everything we needed to live for a week, and the shower was always hot. The hosts are friendly and approachable. They have done a lot of work to make the cottages comfortable. For a 30 minutes walk through picturesque orchards, you can find the swan on the green pub which serves great food and large range of drinks. This is a great find.

Great vacation location

Our stay with Katie and Andy was absolutely amazing. The farmhouse is beautiful and the surrounding gardens are huge. It was a great playground for our two years old. The cottage was great, big enough for a family, well equipped and charming. In short, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend staying with Katie and Andy

Beautiful Cottage & Fantastic Hosts

We loved our stay at the Dairy Cottage over the Christmas holidays, and would definitely return. The cottage was tastefully decorated and thoughtfully appointed, and the hosts Andy and Katie were very helpful with all our questions and needs. Little touches like a welcome bottle of red wine and a small supply of groceries go a long way!! We highly recommend the Dairy Cottage!

Fabulous for Adults and Children

Dairy Cottage is a rural haven, yet so close to London for day trips - but our two girls just wanted to stay on the lovely Hamptons Farmhouse grounds. They like the tennis court now but a few years ago it would have been the trampoline and zip wire. With the open barn and the gazebo (which overlooks the tennis court and other play facilities) the grown-ups have plenty of places to relax. Highly recommended. We will be stay here again.

Superb Child Friendly Holiday Accommodation

Dairy Cottage is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is very peaceful . Perfect if you are a National Trust Member as there are so many places to visit nearby. The cottage itself was beautiful and the added little touches on arrival of flowers, fruit, coffee etc. were very much appreciated. Dairy Cottage has amazing facilities for children - the outdoor play area is near and safe for the children to explore but is not intrusive for guests staying without children. Our grandson adored the chickens and ducks that were merrily wandering the area as well as the ponies in the top field. All in all it was a perfect holiday stay. The owners of the property were very helpful and friendly. We shall be returning for a future stay.

Beautiful and cosy country stay.

A great place to be immersed in the gorgeous Kent countryside. We stayed at Dairy Cottage, which stayed true to it’s listing on the site. The children particularly enjoyed sleeping in their ‘attic’ space. The property is well stocked with cooking equipment and is hearted nicely for those colder evenings. The best bit for us was exploring the extensive grounds (lots to do for the kids) and enjoying walking directly from the cottage, along public footpaths, to nearby pubs. Andy was very friendly and gave us a guided tour of the grounds on arrival and answered any questions we had promptly. Also, the info booklet on sight is very thorough, with all you need to know about the property and the surrounding area. We had a fantastic stay - Thanks Andy and Katie.

Es war unser zweiter Aufenthalt im Dairy Cottage und wie beim ersten Mal war alles für uns perfekt. Das Cottage liegt ruhig in ländlicher Gegend, umgeben von viel Natur. Neben den Hühnern und Schafen der sehr freundlichen Gastgeber, konnten wir vor allem morgens Eichhörnchen, Fasane und viele Vögel vor unserem Fenster beobachten. In der Nähe des Cottages warten viele Sehenswürdigkeiten auf einen Besuch (einige davon unter der Verwaltung des National Trust; sehr empfehlenswert!). Die meisten findet man in der umfangreichen Infomappe von Katie und Andy ( neben vielen weiteren Tipps und Empfehlungen).Das Cottage selbst ist sehr sauber umd mit allem ausgestattet, was man für einen erholsamen Aufenthalt benötigt. Wir haben uns sofort (fast) wie zu Hause gefühlt.Wir empfehlen das Cottage und Katie und Andy zu 100%.

This was our second stay at Dairy Cottage, and just like the first time, everything was perfect for us. The cottage is in a quiet rural area, surrounded by nature. In addition to the chickens and sheep belonging to our very friendly hosts, we were able to watch squirrels, pheasants, and lots of birds outside our window, especially in the morning. There are many attractions to visit near the cottage (some of which are managed by the National Trust; highly recommended!). Most of them can be found in Katie and Andy's comprehensive information folder (along with many other tips and recommendations). The cottage itself is very clean and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We immediately felt (almost) at home. We recommend the cottage and Katie and Andy 100%. Vielen Dank für Ihre freundliche und ausführliche Bewertung. Wir haben uns sehr über Ihren erneuten Besuch gefreut und hoffen, dass Sie uns nächstes Jahr wieder besuchen. Andy und Katie Thank you for your kind and descriptive review. We were delighted to see you again and hope that you visit next year. Andy and Katie

Wir waren als Familie 2 Kinder und 2 Erwachsene dort. Das Haus war sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Gelände war sehr gepflegt und auf Kinder ausgelegt. Es war für jede Altersgruppe was dabei. Man war innerhalb von 10-15 min in Tonbridge und hatte da mehrere Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Pubs. Man hatte auch viele Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Umgebung. Die Gastgeber waren sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Wir hatten eine tolle Woche und würden dieses Haus immer wieder buchen.

Thank you for your kind feedback we are delighted you had such an enjoyable holiday. Your review translated: We stayed there as a family with two children and two adults. The house was clean and lovingly furnished. The grounds were very well maintained and designed with children in mind. There was something for every age group. Tonbridge was only 10-15 minutes away and had several shops and pubs. There were also many attractions in the surrounding area. The hosts were very courteous and helpful. We had a great week and would book this house again anytime. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Friendly people where we stayed, lots of information about the area, washing machine available. Great base for exploring London. We weren't so keen on the double bed mattress. And we found 10 a.m. check-out very early. Bedankt voor uw vriendelijke feedback. We zijn blij dat u van uw verblijf heeft genoten. Onze excuses voor de uitchecktijd van 10.00 uur, maar we moeten alle cottages schoonmaken voor de volgende gasten die later op de dag arriveren Thank you for your kind feedback.
